James G. March (1928-2018)



去年就知道Jim 過世 (Herbert Simon 如此稱呼他。90年代末有組織動力學月刊*專題向他致敬,我誤讀為他過世,就寫篇簡短悼文。根Herb通信,他笑說, Jim好好的,活蹦蹦的,我昨天才跟他一起......
我才知道自己鬧了笑話。
今天覺得應該重拾March 教授的著作......

*我搞錯了,應該是
Organization Science. VoL. 2, No. 1, Feb. 1991
這是1989年5月在CMU的 "Organization Learning"之會議文集

“Success” by James G. March
No one needs him
after he’s gone.
No one who stays
depends on him,
if he has done it right;
No one asks
why flowers grow,
or how a summer ends,
or notices long
that he has gone, quietly
into the dark.

A revered yet humble teacher whose research profoundly impacted many disciplines, he found exquisite beauty in both math and poetry.

Models of a Man

Essays in Memory of Herbert A. Simon Edited by Mie Augier and James G. March

Overview

Herbert Simon (1916-2001), in the course of a long and distinguished career in the social and behavioral sciences, made lasting contributions to many disciplines, including economics, psychology, computer science, and artificial intelligence. In 1978 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in economics for his research into the decision-making process within economic organizations. His well-known book The Sciences of the Artificial addresses the implications of the decision-making and problem-solving processes for the social sciences.
This book (the title is a variation on the title of Simon's autobiography, Models of My Life) is a collection of short essays, all original, by colleagues from many fields who felt Simon's influence and mourn his loss. Mixing reminiscence and analysis, the book represents "a small acknowledgment of a large debt."
Each of the more than forty contributors was asked to write about the one work by Simon that he or she had found most influential. The editors then grouped the essays into four sections: "Modeling Man," "Organizations and Administration," "Modeling Systems," and "Minds and Machines." The contributors include such prominent figures as Kenneth Arrow, William Baumol, William Cooper, Gerd Gigerenzer, Daniel Kahneman, David Klahr, Franco Modigliani, Paul Samuelson, and Vernon Smith. Although they consider topics as disparate as "Is Bounded Rationality Unboundedly Rational?" and "Personal Recollections from 15 Years of Monthly Meetings," each essay is a testament to the legacy of Herbert Simon—to see the unity rather than the divergences among disciplines.
